This Easter at Emza's Chair Caning I worked on a very special project- a rocking chair for my daughter's first Easter! While I was shopping for an Easter basket the thought occurred to me- what am I doing looking at cheaply made Easter baskets when she could have an Easter ROCKING CHAIR restored by her mom!? The rocker I picked up at a garage sale years ago- it was a mess. I reglued it back together and painted it, and added the Smoked Splint seat. Voila! Instant Easter "basket" she can use and pass down! She will be sitting in it in no time.

I'm sad that I did not get a true "before" because this rocker was a MESS. It was in pieces and was painted black with green sponge paint.

Mina is now 11 weeks old and doing well. She is smiling and laughing at everyone and has been sleeping through the night for the past few weeks. Can't help sharing photos of this super sweet girl.
